Enrollment still open for NSU's Summer Camp for Kids

Two more sessions remain in Northeastern State University's Summer Camp for Kids, which offers learning and cultural experiences on the Tahlequah campus.

Camp director Barbara Fuller said each camp offers a hands-on opportunity for kids and was selected and created around the concept of what would a kid like to do? Students from NSUs College of Education assist the camps.

Two sessions remain and enrollment is open for all camps. Be a Star runs July 19-23. Campers explore the world of acting through plays, improvisation, singing, dancing and even digitally inserting themselves into famous movie clips. Campers will also experience a variety of workshops from professional actors, writers and directors. This camp is for ages 7-over.

The final session runs July 26-30 and features two camps. Reading Between the Lines is for ages 8-up and lets campers recreate the world of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Campers will participate in a Percy scavenger hunt, learn sword play, participate in Olympic-style games and live the book through art, food, music and other activities. The field trip consists of a trip to Poseidon's favorite aquarium the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks.

Photography 101 introduces campers to picture-taking. Students learn how to hold and use a camera and skills such as choosing the right subject, centering, focusing and lighting. This camp is for ages 3rd grade and up. The field trip consists of a visit to the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks.

Each full day of camp is 8:30 a.m. 5 p.m. The cost is $125 for each camp and includes lunch, snacks, camp t-shirt, transportation to and from field trips and admission and special activity costs.
